“…Maximum number of ESBL isolates were obtained from pus (37.5%) followed by Urine (18.75%). This was in accordance with the indings by similar studies (Pramodhini and Umadevi, 2015;Jeyabharathi and Rejitha, 2018) which reported 59.6% and 60% of isolates from pus respectively. In contrast to this observation high isolation rate from urine spec-imens was reported (Nithyalakshmi et al, 2016).…”

The spread of extended-spectrum betalactamase (ESBL)-producing clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa has dramatically increased worldwide and frequently reported in India. The present study was undertaken to identify the prevalence of ESBL producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its antimicrobial resistance profile. This prospective study was conducted at Clinical microbiology Laboratory of Sri Muthukumaran Medical college hospital and research Institute for a period of 9 months.. P. aeruginosa isolates from all samples were identified by standard protocols. Antibiotic sensitivity testing for all isolates was done using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Disc potentiation test was performed to detect ESBL production. ESBL producing pseudomonas aeruginosa(16/69) in this study was 23.18%. Prevalence rate of ESBL isolates among the MDR strains was 41.17%.We observed ESBL isolates with high resistance rate to tested antipseudomonal antibiotics than Non ESBL. All ESBL isolates were sensitive to Polymyxin and Colistin. This study gives an alarming sign towards high prevalence of cephalosporins due to ESBL emphasizes the need for early detection to prevent therapeutic failure. In addition ,our study results would be useful to formulate antibiotic policy and its compliances for effective infection control practices.

“…In our study, PCDDT con irmed 23.18% of clinical isolates were ESBL producers. Our results are comparable to the recent studies (Jeyabharathi and Rejitha, 2018;Das et al, 2020) and (Shaikh et al, 2015) who had reported prevalence rate of 28%, 26.5% and 25.13%. Even, similar study conducted in China reported 21% (Chen et al, 2015).…”

“…Therefore, the presence of these virulence factors, among others, might contribute significantly to both disease processes and survival in adverse environmental conditions. Outbreaks of P. aeruginosa, frequently multi-drug resistant, occur in neonatal units, ICUs, and hospital wards, (Jefferies et al 2012;Jeyabharathi JK and Rejitha, 2018;Knoester et al 2014) and are associated with hospital water distribution systems (Lalancette, 2017;Stjärne Aspelund, 2016). Colonization of tap hardware and plumbing fixtures are the probable source for exposure (Costa et al 2015;Loveday et al 2014;Schneider et al 2012;Walker et al 2014).…”
